Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released a report on Tuesday ending the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, concluding that President Donald Trump was not involved in any of his schemes.
The 136-page report, released after a 15-month investigation, asserts that "Democrats on the Oversight Committee focused their investigative efforts on President Trump rather than the broader, decades-long institutional failures that enabled Epstein's abuses and deprived victims of swift justice."
"Epstein acted with impunity, protected and shielded by powerful connections and a justice system that repeatedly failed his victims," stated House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in a press release.

The Republican report acknowledges that Epstein's abuses continued for years due to errors by law enforcement and federal prosecutors, and also states that the Department of Justice failed to "adequately communicate" the release of the files.
The Republican conclusion clashes with the Democrats' intention to continue the investigation in the new Congress that will be sworn in in January, in which they will hold the majority.
Democratic members of Congress released a report on October 26 calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Trump's potential ties to Epstein.
The document from the House Judiciary Committee Democrats, spanning over 50 pages, alleges that Trump was an "active participant in Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s."
The report, titled 'The Case Against Donald Trump Arising from the Epstein Files and the Department of Justice's Desperate Efforts to Cover It Up,' includes the names of five women who have accused the president "of raping or sexually assaulting them" in the company of the deceased sex offender.
